What Causes Stress?
Medical experts generally agree that stress is a major cause of all disease. Manage your stress and your body heals itself. Research has shown that Biofeedback may be affective for stress-management—including for hypertension—by teaching people how to relax completely and re-educate their muscles.
Stress may result from a variety of factors, but they include:
- Allergens - Non-therapeutic aromatic oils extended with solvents, automobile emissions, caffeine, coffee, dander, latex, nicotine, pollen, pollution, smoke (tobacco or other), specific foods, toxic chemical residues, and individual-specific allergens—all cause stress. These, and many other allergens, reduce bodily functions and mental energy, which causes lethargy and weakens the immune system.
- Bacteria and Viruses - Bacterial and viral infections compromise the immune system, slow down bodily functions, reduces the supply of nutrients, and reduces physical and mental energy..
- Chemicals - Cleaning agents, fungicides, growth hormones, herbicides, insecticides, paints, and most man-made chemicals attach to the immune system, impair breath and oxygen intake, reduce the body's ability to absorb nutrients and raise the acidity of body cells.
- Dehydration caused by lack of water intake, excessive sweating, diarrhea, excessive urination, drinking too much coffee or carbonated soft drinks, and eating too much junk food. These all impair the ability of the body to absorb nutrients and oxygen on a cellular level.
- Emotional Issues - Whether unresolved, being resolved or resolved - all have been shown to be major causes of stress.
- Employment - Working at a job you do not love.
- Exercise to the point of exhaustion causes stress.
- Fast Foods - Partially hydrogenated fats, trans fats, and all of the artificial coloring agents, taste enhancers, appetite appeasers, aromatic agents, sweeteners, and preservatives are toxic to the human organism.
- Financial Problems are very stressful on all levels.
- Fungi and Fungal Infections - Whether ingested, inhaled, externally or internally attacking the body, fungi and fungal infections are toxic to living organisms, thereby causing not only stress but a myriad of psychological and medical conditions.
- Genetically Altered Foods are all known to cause asthma, problems with attention, balance, behavior, concentration, and sexual dysfunction, and many other disorders.

- Headaches and Migraines can be biological agents of cause, but are often caused by stress.
- Heavy Metals - These include arsenic, mercury and lead, which are implicated in adrenals, bones, bone marrow, brain, circulatory system, ears, eyes, gall bladder, heart, intestines, kidneys, liver, lungs, lymphatic system, pancreas, pituitary, skin, spleen, throat, thyroid, thymus and other physical problems, and thereby cause stress.
- Irradiation - Irradiated foods reduce the life force and greatly diminish the nutritional value of food. By law, all foodstuffs entering the United States and most of the civilized world, must be irradiated for the public good. (They are illegal in many countries, including the European Union.)
- Lack of Sleep - Insomnia, whether caused by emotional, psychological, or medical reasons, is a major cause of stress.
- Low Self-Esteem - Whether caused by bacterial, fungal or viral infections, poor nutrition, toxic chemicals, hormonal imbalances or other reasons, causes stress.
- Medical Conditions, Diseases, or Disorders, diagnosed or undiagnosed, treated or untreated, improving or worsening, all cause stress.
- Microwave Radiation - Cell phones, microwave ovens, portable radios and telephones, TV sets, and other sources are known stressors with varying effects upon the body for reasons currently under investigation.
- Nutritional Deficiencies - Whether caused by disease, disorders, poor nutrition, or poor absorption of nutrients, these are known causes of stress.
- Being a Workaholic is a major cause of stress.
- Pain, including physical injury, mental or emotional trauma, and psychological issues cause stress.
- Parasites - This includes thousands of medically undetectable parasites known to infest the body. These sap the body's nutrition and energy, thereby causing stress.
- Prescription Drugs - Prescription drugs and other synthetic and toxic chemicals are implicated in every physical and mental disease, disorder or condition known to science.
- Psychological Conditions, Diseases or Disorders, whether diagnosed or not, being treated or not, improving or not, are all known to cause stress.
- Relationship Problems of any kind have been shown to be a major cause of stress.
